What kind of interest rate should I expect to receive with excellent credit? My mom is shopping for a new vehicle. Her credit isn't the best, after running into some trouble in the past, but it is better than before and improving. She wants to use her credit first, but I will finance for her if the rate I'd receive is significantly better. It's been a decade since I last purchased a vehicle and haven't paid much attention to rates since then.

Thank you for any help.

0% interest, if you can't pay cash you can't afford it

4% - 7% depending on credit score and length of loan

7s most likely unless there are some dealer incentives, but they usually require strong credit.

Varies by make/model/used/new. But don't expect it to be cheap regardless.

7% is about the best you’ll do right now unless it’s a manufacturer promo through their own financing arm.

Check credit unions and local banks

Thanks for the helpful replies. I will let her use her credit first like she wants, but I will use mine if her rates come back super high.

Bought my wife a new vehicle a few months ago. 2.9% through GM.

My credit union was running a %2.99 special that month for auto loans. I showed the sales manager at dealership this and they matched it

I have a 780 credit score.

Pics of her?

Maybe, with proper motivation, some discounts could be found.

Car rates at banks and through the manufacturer are sky high right now.

I got 1.9 via my credit union on a new purchase recently, so you might check your local bank or CU.
